August is Romance Awareness Month and who can deny that the first element of any romantic moment is Music? ANNOUNCING OUR NEW BOARD MEMBERS
The highlight of July was our participation in the Sisters in Harmony Book Expo July 22-24, 2011, in Coconut Grove, Miami. Friday night was an evening of "Moving in Harmony" and Jus' Cynthia, who just returned from a 4-month stint in Bangkok, joined Diva JC for a momentous rendition of the Blues, accompanied by Jamila Sahar on keyboard.
The Sisters in Harmony weekend was enhanced by the Venus Rising Dance Troupe

It's our joy to share the gift of music with others. However, we may
overlook the need to care for ourselves or feel inadequate in this
activity because we don’t have “regular” jobs. Maybe we have
no idea where to begin. What I’m referring to is a pension for our
retirement years. Few musicians have a 401K package and that is even
unreliable, in today’s financial environment.
